For residents of Block 38A in Bendemeer Road, the sight of a maid stranded on the ledge outside a fourth-storey unit on Wednesday evening brought a sense of deja vu.
They had seen a similar scene play out on the same ledge less than three months ago, only it was a different maid then.
In the July 28 incident, the Indonesian maid had apparently fallen from the kitchen window of the four-room flat while collecting laundry.
Neighbours rushed to help the flat occupants hold on to the terrified woman until Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers climbed up a ladder to rescue her.
It was the maid’s first day at work, said her employer’s daughter, 24, who added that the agency subsequently sent her back to Indonesia.
In Wednesday’s incident, it appears the new maid, whose nationality is not known, had climbed out to the ledge as she resisted attempts to rescue her, even after the police arrived.
Witnesses told The New Paper yesterday they saw the maid squatting on the narrow ledge below the kitchen window.
